I know Microsoft is the root of all evil, but it would be nice to be able to upload a word processed file (doc or even rtf) without having to convert it to txt and losing all the formatting.

Also could the forum allow uploads from Framemaker files? I wanted to upload a template file in .fm format but the system would not accept it. The forum also does not allow mif so I had to copy and paste the relevent parts of the template into my word processor, then convert the doc file to acrobat, and finally upload it.

Also, for me in FF 3.0.10 Windows with all customizations off, the page does not jump to the linked message[1] until after they appear - as you said - after the main page has rendered. I am not sure if this is due to waiting for the JavaScript or due to waiting for the images to arrive from wwwimages.adobe.com. It feels like the latter to me. But then, some of those images are used in the silver nav bar (Your Stuff, History, etc.) and those render far earlier than the boxes in the side bar.

And who but company marketing types or bean counters would ever want to know who the Top Participants are? Can't that data be restricted to specific access levels or user types - say, employee? I just can't imagine a case where a U2U...uh... user would find that information helpful.

I would like to see an answer to how I can get the spell checker to work using English, rather than insisting on using the USA version. I am fed up with seeing the correct spelling of colour shown as incorrect....

Thank you for pointing that out. Along with the the "set region" that ADOBE says "Check this box, and we will remember your region and language the next time you visit Adobe.com" I note that this defaults back to USA every time I return. Is this just me?

Is there an automatic way to sign out from the Adobe forums when I close my browser (IE 7)? I can't seem to find one in my profiles or preferences.

no elisa. if you want to log out, you have to do it at the top of the screen by clicking "Sign Out" - it's in between the "your account" link and hte shopping cart. otherwise the stated timeout for hte store is 20 minutes, and for the forums themselves is 24 hours. although as jay said, due to the buggy forum software, that time can vary considerably... (shorter or longer).

Jive CEO Dave Hersh describes this new offering as the first new application category in business since CRM:

For our customers, SBS is the new enterprise category. The enterprise has been devoid of a new application category since CRM, and they see the advent of social software as the biggest change to happen to the enterprise in fifteen years. It’s now spanning every major vertical and the visionary leaders are seeing the gains that can be made by opening up collaboration and focusing on the people. This is especially true in a downturn, where throwing more money at business process software is not going to lead to huge value increases — you have to look to the areas where there is the most to gain, the white spaces in a company: the people.

everyone got that?

holy smokes i haven't read such a glaring example of business-techno-buzzword-babble in a long time! whee!

Hmm. Because...having your employees chat and spend quality social time together instead of working produces results? What the heck are they talking about?

whereas curly ones slipped through unnoticed. Para 1 of the FAQ ought to be amended to include angle brackets.

Once this FAQ is finalized, would it be an idea to put a link to it in email footers? Something like

There would be plenty of room for this if the 'This message was sent to...' line was eliminated ( ), along with the empty lines before -end-

Another good place for a link to it would be on the mailinglists page, either in the preamble ("Below is a list...") or in the About box.

Good to see that a uuencode message got through with characters up to &#254; U2117 didn't make it.
